The Central Siberian Plateau lies in central Siberia. This massive upland usurps over 600,000 square miles before petering out into the North Siberian Lowland.

Plant life is closely tied to the climate. The Russian plain is clad sequentially in tundra(treeless, marshy plain), coniferous forest(taiga), and mixed forest

History/Government
Revolution and change-
In 1917, two revolutions completely changed the fabric of Russia. First the February Russian revolution toppled the Russian monarchy and established a provisional government. Then in October a second Russian revolution placed the Bolsheviks as the leaders of Russia.
Movements for change-
For western eyes the neat swap of titles from prime minister to president by Vladimir Putin, suitably circumventing Russia’s rule that prevents a president from serving more than two terms.
Economy-
Economic activities-
The economy of Russia is the eighth largest economy in the world by nominal value and the sixth largest by purchasing power parity.
Trade and independence-
Russia is the third trading partner of the EU and the EU is the first trading partner of Russia.
Transportation and communications-
The national web of roads, railways, and airways stretches almost 4,800 miles from Kaliningrad in the west to the Kamchatka Peninsula in the east.
Global issues-
Trails only Saudi Arabia in oil production saw its economic prospects firmly boosted by the run-up in crude oil prices that lasted through mid- 2008. Then during the latter half of the year, oil prices nosedived as did Russian equity prices.
